South Sudan President Reshuffles Security Leadership

South Sudanese President Salva Kiir has executed a significant reshuffle in the country's military and financial leadership, dismissing several key officials, including Chief of Defense Forces Santino Deng Wol and Bank of South Sudan Governor James Alic Garang. General Paul Nang Majok has been appointed as the new army chief, while General Abraham Peter Manyuat replaces Atem Marol Biar as Inspector General of Police. These changes come in the wake of a violent incident involving security forces in Juba, which raised concerns about internal conflict within the military. The President has not provided specific reasons for the dismissals, but reports suggest they may stem from dissatisfaction among troops, some of whom have not received pay for nearly a year. This overhaul follows Kiir's earlier dismissal of the former National Security Service's head, Akol Koor Kuc, amid ongoing tensions in the capital. The recent appointments and dismissals reflect ongoing instability in South Sudan's governance as the country continues to recover from years of civil conflict.
